good morning gang!
it's nice to come here and see my buddies! and hear what is going on in your lives! really it is!
Leenie - Ii'm so glad your boss will be out this week! maybe you will be able to play with us this week,. I didn't realize you can catch Joel Osteen up there where you are at. We are all glued to our tvs the 2 nights a week he comes on down here. We love his preaching - his positive & loving & encouraging message from the Lord! I also like Charles Stanley and Joyce Meyers!!! I don't think I have ever heard T. D. Jakes preach - sounds like I better catch him.
Joanne - I am so glad you got your cast off!
and I will pray that they will not have to do another surgery! please keep us posted on that and the pipes! imagine ya'll are trying to dry things out today???
Cin - sounds like you are having a blast with your grandsons and they with ya'll. We use to have Power Rangers all over the house too - now they are up in the attic for their kids some day. About dh's rash - I don't guess he has had any antibotics huh? like a reaction to penicillin or something? guess that would be too easy to figure out! We will keep praying for his complete recovery.
Leenie - you asked how dh and the boys are. Well dh is fine. He is with our men's ministry today at Angola Prison reaching out to the prisoners there. the boys - well that is another story and one of the reasons I've been kind of quiet about personal things - figured if I didn't talk about it maybe it would just go away or work itself out. HA
Oldest DS is in his 4th semester at college and told us yesterday that he has not been going to his classes for the past 2 weeks, that he has just been hanging out at the BCM (baptist student union) with friends instead. Says he took a test that he knew he failed (which we knew about) and that he just doesn't think he can do school, so he is not gonna finish the semester and is going to look for a job. School is just not what he wants to do right now. So today he is beating the bushes and is out there filling out applications at places like Blockbuster, Movie Gallery, Sam Goody, Old Navy, some cellular phone companies, etc. I have no idea if he will find a job anytime soon, but perhaps if he works for awhile he will decide he would rather go back to college or our 2 year tech college and finally apply himself. I know that one way or the other - it will work out - but honestly, I am disappointed.
Yesterday I handled my disappointment with flying colors and got in my car and went to McDonald's for an order for french fries, and then had a Snickers bar too! now didn't that make everything better - NOT! when will I ever learn!
But this morning I did a 30 minute 2.5 mile Walk & Jog dvd.
Now youngest ds, who is graduating a yea early in May, with excellent grades, is telling me this morning that he is thinking of just going to our 2 year tech college instead of McNeese bec "if his brother can't make it, he doesn't think he can!" good grief louise! teenagers!
believe me - I know there are worse problems in the world - truly I do - neither of these guys drink or do the things that a lot of teens do and we are very grateful fo that - but - I guess we have gotten use to them being high achievers in most ways -and well - some of this stuff is just disappointing! no big deal i know - just me rambling really.
Also - I must be perimenopausal right - emotions out the whaazoo!
Ok well now - aren't ya glad I've been skipping the personal stuff!
what's the rest of our gang doing today?
hugs,
cathy
